Some Pics of my bug - Shazza
XXX-1.8T - October 23rd, 2004 at 05:19 PM

Heres some pics i took as ive added some little things to her =)


As you can see I have all red tail lenses which are US Spec and look much nicer than the euro Amber and Red. I also have the 1966 D Sign (for those that dont know d stands for deutscheland) BTW Shazza is a Aussie 1966 which is equal to a US 1964 beetle =) As u can see i also have the Mr Bubblehead (VW's Mascot) number plate topper

Ok here i did a bit of a mix the top badge is a Canadian VW badge which was on only canadian beetles. They were located on the rear right guard on top of the rear right tail light. I decided to be different and locate where the old 1300 badge used to be as this script looks much cooler than the 1300 script. The script matches the Deluxe script nicely also.
Below the Canadian badge is a Deluxe badge which was fitted only to Aussie beetles. These are hard to find as they dont make repros of these badges

Heres a vintage sticker of the Mobil Pegasus - Mobiles 50's/60's Trademark

Here are some interior shots. Bubblehead Vase on the right with flower back in the day the flowers were used as air freshners, next to that is a VW St Christopher medallion. And standard are the fuzzy dice on any old car =)

Shazza is looking sweeter everytime. I'd like to have an affair with her, but not sure what my wife would say.

Squiz....

Looking good Costa.
I too have a 1961 "D" sign on my bug.

Very nice bug you got there, you should be very proud to own that one....
